Board asks township to correct map after finding recorded public‑trail easement
Summary
Board members reviewed a draft digital trail map, asked edits to private/future-trail labeling and alerted the Board of Supervisors that a trail shown as private is a recorded 10-foot public trail easement recorded July 16, 1991 (Deed Book 11265, Page 1; Deed Book 2496, Page 154).
Wallace Trail Preservation Board members reviewed a draft digital map prepared by architect Scott Aker and recommended several edits, including changing “HOA” labels to “Private,” removing dashed lines indicating future trails and deleting a trail shown at Barneston Dam.
Dorothy Kirk told the group that the trail depicted as 'presumed-private' is actually a recorded 10-foot-wide public trail easement across property owned by Thomas P. and Susan B. Giangiulio; the easement was recorded July 16, 1991 (Deed Book 11265, Page 1; Deed Book 2496, Page 154) and can be maintained by the Wallace Trail Preservation Association. The minutes direct the Board to discuss Barneston Dam trail depiction with the Board of Supervisors before finalizing the map; the next BOS meeting is scheduled for Oct. 10.
The board also proposed adding a safety note to the maps—“Hunters wear orange and so should you”—and asked staff to revise map symbology so county- or state-owned trails (for example, Springton Manor Farm or Marsh Creek State Park) appear consistently with other township trails. The group agreed to forward revised files and mark post locations and areas of concern for the Board of Supervisors’ review.
